Driver Education
Goals and Policy Changes
The goal of driver education is the training of traffic citizens who will be safe, efficient and skilled users of the highway transportation system. To acheive this goal we must provide the best instructional system utilizing existing resources and modern technology.
SB 465 - 2008 Regular Session (Act 768) revises the Driver Education requirements for age and driving experience. The changes become effective January 1, 2009.
Any student who is fifteen (15) years of age or older may apply to the appropriate school or school district for an application and school instruction permit if the student is enrolled in a Driver Education course conducted by a person who meets certification requirements as established by the Louisiana State Board of Elemntary and Secondary Education for teachers of Driver Education and Traffic Safety. The course consists of a program of not less than thirty (30) hours of classroom instruction and eight (8) hours of actual driving experience.
